What experience I have is second-hand as I don't own a Kindle.
The comment I read repeatedly in Amazon's reviews of technical books is that the formatting is wretched. Frequently, the text is similar to a Word document, & any mathematical formulae presented is simply mangled.
The Nginx title mentioned by
J65nko I believe is published by Packt who tends to publish very timely titles, but with little editing -- in other words, the book may be rough & possibly incomplete. The Kindle version of this book
might be readable, but since I haven't seen it, this is merely conjecture.
An alternative is to go to Packt's Website & price their electronic version(s)
(I believe all of their books have equivalent electronic versions...). I do know that they do put out PDF versions, & my experience has been that these are identical to the print version. I like this as I can read it via OpenBSD, Windows, & gmail.
This is only an opinion. Your mileage may vary.
